1. INTRODUCTION


Your lift chair is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of lift chair to be used is the responsibility of you, the lift chair user, if capable of making such a decision, and/or your healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, allied health professional, therapist, etc.).

MANDATORY! Read and follow the information provided in this owner’s manual before attempting to operate your lift chair for the first time.

There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where you will need to practice operating the lift chair in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family member or healthcare professional specially trained in assisting you with performing various daily living activities while safely operating a lift chair.

Below are some precautions, tips and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed to operating the lift chair in a safe manner.

MODIFICATIONS

Aspire chairs are designed and engineered to provide maximum comfort and utility. However, to prevent personal injury and/or damage to your lift chair, you should not modify, add, remove or disable any feature, part or function of your lift chair. Unauthorised modifications may also void your product’s warranty.

NOTE: Use Aspire approved parts only for all repairs and replacements.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your lift chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to “Appendix A” for more information.

MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your lift chair. Failure to do so may result in injuries and/or product damage, Aidacare will not be held responsible for any such issues/failures.

PINCH/CRUSH HAZARDS

The scissor and lift mechanisms are labelled as pinch/crush point hazards on your lift chair. Keep clear of these areas and make sure the path of motion is unobstructed. See figure 3.1 for pinch/crush point locations.

WARNING! Do not place objects or appendages in the path of moving parts.

DEGREE OF PROTECTION/MODE OF OPERATION• Class II equipment/Type B protection against electric shock• Degree of protection against the ingress of solid/liquids—IPX0 • Mode of operation—Maximum Duty Cycle: 2 min. ON/18 min. OFF

2. GENERAL GUIDELINESSTORAGE AND OPERATION TEMPERATURES• Transportation or storage: -75°C/-104°F to 70°C/158°F• Operation: 10°C/50°F to 40°C/104°F

ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI)

WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered devices, such as lift chairs.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links, Wifi, microwave signals, paging transmitters and medium-range mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to the control system of electrically-powered devices. The lift chair user can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment. It is recommended that at least 3 metres (9 feet) of distance be maintained between the lift chair and any handheld equipment emitting 10 W or more of output power. Refer to the manufacturer’s literature for the handheld device to determine the maximum output power of that device.

Every electrically-powered device has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI. Per EMC standards, this product has passed immunity testing and is rated as a Group 1, Class B product, meaning the lift chair uses RF energy only for its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment making the lift chair suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments and hospitals.

WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops and other types of radio transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered device due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating your lift chair.

WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the lift chair can increase the susceptibility of the chair to EMI. Do not modify your lift chair in any way not authorised by Pride.

WARNING! Your lift chair itself can disturb the performance of other electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.

NOTE: If unintended motion occurs, discontinue use of the lift chair. Contact Aidacare to report the incident.

SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Before using your lift chair, make sure your delivery is complete as some components may be packaged individually. If you do not receive a complete delivery, please contact your authorised Aspire Dealer immediately. Where damage has occurred during transport, either to the packaging or content, please contact the delivery company responsible.

MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT

If you will be transporting your lift chair in a motor vehicle, individual components (external transformer, etc.) should be secured. The lift chair itself must also be secured (a possible hazard during vehicle braking).


BODY COMPONENTS

This section describes the features of your lift chair. Carefully review the function and location of each item described, and note that the illustrations and option locations shown in this manual may not reflect the type of lift chair that you own.

• Appendages• Small children• Pets• Wires• Oxygen tubes• Loose items, including but not• Limited to clothing and blankets• Electrical power leads

Scissor Mechanism(Pinch Point)


ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

Your Aspire Lift Chair is equipped with a low voltage DC motor system that reduces the standard household alternating current of 90V AC - 264V AC to direct current (24/39V DC). The electrical components include the external transformer, batteries and hand control. Keep these areas free from moisture at all times.

WARNING! Keep all electrical components free from moisture at all times to prevent shock and/or electrical hazard.

External Transformer: Connects to a standard electrical outlet to provide power to the lift chair. The transformer may be equipped with an LED indicator, which shows green when power to the transformer is on.

The external transformer may also come equipped with mounting brackets that allow the transformer to be mounted to the wall directly under the standard electrical outlet. The screws must be mounted to the wall stud for security. Refer to “Appendix B” for a mounting diagram.

NOTE: Aidacare is not responsible for damage due to improper installation.

Batteries: Provide the power needed to return the lift chair to an upright or semi-upright position in the event of a power failure. Batteries are not included and must be installed into the external transformer. See IV. “Assembly/Disassembly.”

NOTE: The batteries will provide power for only a short period of time after power is removed from the system, so it is important to act quickly in the event of a power failure. Engage and hold the up/down switch in the UP position as soon as possible. Maintain a steady pressure on the switch to avoid excessive draw from the battery and achieve the most amount of lift. Keep in mind that the amount of lift the batteries will be able to provide is affected by user weight and battery condition.

Hand Control: Contains the controls needed to operate the various functions of the lift chair. Refer to V. “Operation” for more information. The hand control may be equipped with a quick-release connector, which enables the user to detach the hand control from the lift chair, disabling all functions of the hand control.

Your lift chair may require some assembly before initial use. It may also require disassembly to make servicing the chair more convenient. If your lift chair is a Knock-Down (KD) model, follow the instructions in “Lift Chair Set-up.” If your lift chair is not a KD model, proceed to “Lift Chair Placement.”

LIFT CHAIR SET-UP

KD models will arrive in the knock-down position (Fig. 4.1).

LIFT CHAIR PLACEMENT

Your lift chair should be placed near a standard electrical outlet on dry, level ground where there is ample room to allow for proper operation. It is recommended that you have the assistance of an attendant when positioning the lift chair to avoid the possibility of injury when lifting.

Follow these steps to position the lift chair in a safe manner:1. The back of the lift chair should be positioned with sufficient clearance to avoid any obstructions,

particularly behind the chair after reclining. Suggested clearances by model are:

2. Adjust the leg levelers to stabilise the lift chair (Fig. 3.2).3. Install the batteries into the external transformer. Refer to “Battery Installation” for more information.4. Position the external transformer on the floor in an open, well-ventilated area where it will not be an

obstruction.5. Position the low voltage connection cable (cable from transformer to chair), where it will not be

pinched between the frame and the lift mechanism.6. Connect the low voltage connection cable to the external transformer if it is not already connected.7. Plug the power lead directly into the electrical outlet. Do not use an extension lead!

NOTE: If you discover a problem at any point during the set-up and positioning of your lift chair, stop and contact your authorised Aspire Dealer immediately. To avoid personal injury and/or product damage, do not plug the unit into the electrical outlet until the problem is corrected and do not attempt to fix electrical problems by yourself.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Your lift chair may be equipped with a battery backup system that will activate during a power failure. The backup system is powered by two 9V Lithium-Ion batteries (not included) that need to be installed into the external transformer.

Follow these steps to install the batteries:1. Unplug the external transformer power lead from the

electrical outlet (lead from transformer to wall). 2. Open the marked battery door on the external transformer.3. Install two 9V Lithium-Ion batteries into the

external transformer (Fig. 4.2).4. Replace the battery door.

NOTE: Always make sure the external transformer is equipped with two fresh 9V batteries. The battery backup system does not recharge itself. Fresh batteries are defined as 9V Lithium-Ion batteries that are replaced every time the battery backup system is activated during a power failure, or once a year if the battery backup system has not been activated.

NOTE: If you unplug your lift chair for an extended period of time (more than one hour), remove the batteries from the external transformer. The lift chair will draw power from the batteries even when it is not in use.

IDEA: Check 9V Lithium-Ion battery every year when you check your smoke alarm!
